A few psychology courses at Denison University, though, changed that. A cognitive psychology course led to another in nutrition and cognitive development, and soon Mahoney was working in a research lab studying the psychology of language. Under the leadership of a great mentor, she became interested in research, and went on to earn her Ph.D. degree from Tufts University, where she worked under Prof. Holly Taylor in the Spatial Cognition Lab in the School of Arts and Sciences. Her training was in experimental psychology with a specialization in cognition, and her work focused on the impacts of nutrition on cognitive performance in both children and adults.","PeriodicalId":239894,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131191636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the Internet entering homes and becoming a mainstay, she started looking at how people learn together and solve problems online. These were the days of chat rooms, and she found it hard to build inspiring problems to work on or sites to work with while in the lab. When she decided to turn her attention to the real world, a professor suggested video games, something Steinkuehler hadn't played since she was \"a high schooler hanging out at the arcade,\" but she took a look and was amazed at the level of sophistication she found. She turned her work toward studying what gamers were doing cognitively and intellectually and what, if anything, children, especially teenagers, were getting out of their play.","PeriodicalId":239894,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132499284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

School came easily to Cosman, and when she was in seventh grade, her parents challenged her with enrollment in a French immersion program in nearby Los Angeles. School abruptly became difficult, even incomprehensible, but the saving grace was the universal language of math. Over the years, Cosman's interest in the sciences grew alongside her love of math. She knew she wanted to work in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field, she just didn't know which one. One day, she'd envision becoming a doctor, another day an astronaut. With so many options, it was hard for her to narrow her focus and choose just one college major, but she eventually decided to follow in her father's footsteps.","PeriodicalId":239894,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129532106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
